Passenger Van Safety
Awareness Program
Course Objectives
The objective of this presentation
is to increase the safety
awareness of passenger van
drivers, thus reducing the risk of
accidents, especially rollovers.
Civil Air Patrol Unique
Information
•
Note – Civil Air Patrol has removed the last row of seats and provided
cargo netting for all 15 passenger capable vehicles.
•
Civil Air Patrol vans should NOT be loaded beyond cargo net limitations
to prevent overloading 15 passenger van conversions. Overloading may
result in the same out of balance situation as if the last row of seats
were installed.
•
Reference CAPR 77-1, Operation and Maintenance of CAP Vehicles, for
more information.
NHTSA Report Overview
• 15-passenger vans have an increased rollover risk under
certain conditions.
• The risk of rollover increases dramatically as the number
of occupants increases from fewer than five occupants to
over ten passengers.
• 15-passenger vans (with 10 or more occupants) had a
rollover rate in single vehicle crashes that is nearly 5 times
the rate of those that were lightly loaded.
NHTSA Report (continued)
• Loading 15-passenger vans causes the center of gravity to
shift rearward and upward increasing the likelihood of
rollover. A shift in the center of gravity will also increase
the potential for loss of control in panic maneuvers.
• It is important that the van be operated by experienced
drivers. They should understand and be familiar with the
handling characteristics of their vans, especially when fully
loaded.
NHTSA Reports (continued)
• Institutions using 15-passenger vans should
require seat belt use at all times.
• Any load placed on the roof will be above
the center of gravity of the vehicle and will
increase the likelihood of rolling over.
Accident Facts
• 25% of all driving accidents are the result of excessive speed.
• 60% of van rollovers are the result of under-inflated
tires.
• 70% of driving accidents occur within 25 miles from home.
15-Passenger Van Facts
• A speed that may be acceptable in a passenger car could
be dangerous in a van.
• As the van is loaded with passengers, the center of gravity
shifts upward above the wheels. The higher the number
of passengers, the greater the likelihood of a rollover, as
more weight shifts towards the rear .
Always fill the front seats first.
• The shift in the center of gravity will also increase the
potential for loss of control in panic maneuvers.
• Soft shoulders and culverts pose a hazard in rural areas.

Driving Tips for All Vehicles
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Drive conservatively.
Avoid excessive speed and abrupt maneuvers.
Don’t drive tired.
Don’t drive in bad weather, if possible.
Take rest breaks often (every 2 hours is recommended)
Wear seat belts at all times when the vehicle is in motion.
Drive only during the day, if possible.
Require someone to be awake in the front seat with the
driver on long trips.
Safety Belts!
• According to the NHTSA, 80% of people killed in
rollover crashes were not wearing their safety belt.
• Many injuries and deaths attributed to large vans are a
result of ejection. Once vans begin to roll over, many
people are killed because they did not use seatbelts.
• This may be due to poor supervision by the driver and
senior occupants who fail to ensure that all passengers
are buckled up.
Dealing With
Aggressive Drivers
• Avoid eye contact.
• Don’t cut in front of other drivers.
• Allow fellow drivers to merge, while keeping a
safe distance.
• Don’t aggravate fellow drivers with hand
gestures.
• Never tailgate!!!
• Use your horn sparingly.
• Give aggressive drivers plenty of space to move
on without provocation.
Backing The Van
• Always use a spotter if possible.
• Make an allowance for the extended length of
the van behind the rear wheels.
• Back to the left (driver’s side).
• Never back up if you miss a ramp/exit. Go to the
next exit and return to your intended exit.
• Use (properly adjusted) outside mirrors. (adjusted
outward so you can see your blind spots)
How to Correctly Adjust
Your Side-View Mirrors:
In a normal seating position, you should not be able to see any part
of your own vehicle in the side-view mirrors. Watch the animated
illustration below.
Adjust the side-view mirrors just beyond the point where you
could see the side of the car on the inside edge of the mirror.
Highway Driving
•
When driving a passenger van, avoid lane changes unless
absolutely necessary. Always use your signals with ample notice
to other drivers.
•
Merges: Signal and move steadily into the drive-lane. Don’t cut
off other vehicles.
•
Blind Spots:
~ Never cruise in another vehicle’s blind spot! If the other driver
cannot see you, the driver may attempt a lane-change, causing
you to make an abrupt avoidance maneuver which can result in
loss of control of the van and potential rollover.
~ When changing lanes, use both mirrors and a brief head-turn
back. Have the front seat passenger assist you, if needed.
Safe Following Distance:
How do you determine a safe following distance?
• Look for a land mark alongside the road, such as, a road
sign.
• When the vehicle in front of you passes the landmark count
four seconds by saying: one thousand and one, two thousand
and two, one thousand and three, one thousand and four'.
• If you reach the mark before you have finished counting,
you are too close.
• In bad weather, add one to two seconds.
• Always make sure there is enough space in front of you and
behind you to give you time to react to problems.
• If someone overtakes you, readjust your following distance.
Highway Driving (Continued)
Entrance/Exit Ramps:
• Rollovers can be caused by excessive speed
while turning.
• Posted speed limits on ramps are intended for
cars. Slow your van to 5 miles-per-hour below
the posted speed limit on ramps.
If your wheels
leave the pavement…
…never attempt to correct the van while
maintaining your speed.
~Due to the weight of the van, inertia will cause the rearend to try to overtake the front (fishtail). You will lose
control of the van and will likely roll.
~Slow down (to a near-stop if necessary) before righting
the vehicle.
The result of attempting to re-enter
the pavement at highway speeds
In Summary:
• Vans are not cars and don’t handle like cars.
• Inspect your van before each trip, including all
controls and signals, tire condition and pressure
(Critical!)
• Load your passengers from front to rear.
• Ensure all passengers are correctly wearing their
safety belts.

no member shall be excluded from participation in,
denied the benefits of, or subjected to discrimination
in any CAP program or activity on the basis of race,
sex, age, color, religion, national origin, or disability
(formerly handicap). It is Civil Air Patrol policy that no
applicant meeting CAP’s minimum age requirement
will be denied membership in CAP on the basis of race,
sex, age, color, religion, national origin, or disability
(formerly handicap).”

Nondiscrimination Policy
• Violation of these principles is not only a
breach of policy, it breaks the law.
• Given one of our core values is respect, we
should never have an issue in this area.
• However, we must all be vigilant that we treat
all members with the respect they deserve.
• We will not tolerate any behavior to the
contrary.

Staff Meeting
Lt Col John Green
October 12, 2013
• Staff Reports ARE NOT OPTIONAL for In-Person, Face-to-Face Commanders and Staff Meetings.
• Please lets get it together and submit staff reports when requested…and by due date assigned
• NM Wing Schedule – Maj Branan
• State Budget Execution
• Finance Committee has finalized and approved staff budgets for specific line items requested
• Compliance Inspection (CI)
• Still waiting on the “final official CI report”
• Next goal 18 October
• Updated responses to discrepancies due at NHQ…I have not received any updated responses yet and
they are DUE NOW so I can assemble them into a single response and submit to NHQ by 18 Oct
• Please remember the solutions to discrepancies documented must address what positive actions the
Wing will take or have taken place to prevent discrepancy from occurring again
• Look at the discrepancies from a “root cause” aspect and determine what can be done to prevent the
root cause
• All discrepancy corrective actions will be approved or disapproved by NHQ, not NMW
• CI Inspection Binders
• Repopulate with any materials given to inspectors
• Return binders to Chief of Staff (CS) as soon as feasible…I have only received a couple of them back so far
• CS will store binders until next CI (3 years)
